ComicMan Description

ComicMan downloads Web comics from the Internet to your hard drive. ComicMan downloads Web comics from the Internet to your hard drive. ComicMan remembers the last download for each title, so you won't get duplicates from running it multiple times.The application itself is a command line tool, but it comes with a graphical configuration tool and an editor for making new Web comic configuration files.Requirements:· perl· perl-libwww-perl ≥ 5.805· perl-config-general ≥ 2.30· perl-uri ≥ 1.35· perl-html-tagset ≥ 3.10· perl-html-parser ≥ 3.55· PerlQt ≥ 3.009What's New in This Release:· The graphical components were rewritten in PerlTk, and some logging improvements were made. What's New in This Release: · Used File::Spec module on file and dir paths: a step toward becoming multi-platform · Updated ComicLib.pm to set a default $HOME of C: for Win32 · Adjusted format of this_month value to be two characters wide. · improved logging in functions: get_webpage, get_named_comics, get_cksum_comics · fetch_inf_data: changed so a user's inf file takes precedence if named the same as a system inf file · Added comics: "6x9 College", "Broken Plot Device", "Buck Godot", "Camp Calomine", "Cafe Anime", "Cyantian Chronicles", "Shivae-Cler", "Shivae-Vas", "EGS-Sketch", "Fellowship Of Heroes" · Added comics: "Furthia High", "GPF", "Heroes Of Crash", "Paradigm Shift", "Peter Is The Wolf", "Quentin Quinn", "Tally Ho", "What's New", "RH Junior", "Air Patrol", "Deer Me" · Added comics: "Slightly Damned", "Cyantia:Shivae:Keol", "Cyantia:Genoworks" · Updated inf for: "Clan of the Cats", "Abby's Agency", "Akaelae", "Alien Dice", "Pure", "Sivine", "Dela", "EGS", "EGS-NPS", "Faux Pas", "Freefall", "Gene Catlow", "Girl Genius" · Updated inf for: "Goblin Hollow", "Kevin and Kell", "Nip and Tuck", "Ozy and Millie", "Schlock Mercenary", "Sluggy Freelance", "Tales Of The Questor", "Misty", "Cafe Anime", "GPF" · Removed: "Campus Safari", "Shivae", "Girl Genius Prev", "Dakota's Ridge", "Fur Will Fly", "EGS-Filler", "Coyoteville", "Barely Human" · cmInfEdit.pl: remember the current conf file name when doing a file-save operation. · updated comicman.pl with -testinf command line option that calls blindly_get_named_comics instead of get_named_comics for inf file testing. · Added new optional field, "Filename RegEx", which parses out the filename only if the regular RegEx is used to grab some of the path. This revs the inf file version to 0.0.2, but backward compatibility is maintained with 0.0.1 inf files. See kevin-kell.inf, freefall.inf and egs-*.inf for examples of this new feature in use. · Fixed bug where a missing subscribed inf file would cause comicman.pl to exit instead of continuing on to the next inf. · Fixed bug in cminfedit.pl that didn't clear out unused variables if you changed renaming schemes. · Fixed bug where -testinf didn't work for checksum comics. · cmconfig.pl: Added user-agent(default:"Browser") option to settings tab because, for reasons known only to them, the admins at a certain webcomic apparently decided to start blocking the "Comicman" name. I tested UA names with wget and they were clearly rejecting anything beginning with "comic" or "Comic". · Changed inf rev to "2" instead of "0.0.2" because having major.minor.patch versions of the data file is silly. · Adopting major.minor.patch versioning for Comicman.
